The right to a guaranteed hours contract will be transformative for workers, but we have to get the implementation right. Yesterday we heard from Usdaw members, TULO Chair @JoanneGSUsdaw, UNISON's @GavinEdwards77, and Unite's Hannah Reed on how we do just that.

The votes are in: MPs have REJECTED the Conservative and Liberal Democrat attempts to water down Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill. Time for the Lords to get out of the way, so the Government can deliver on their manifesto commitment to implement a New Deal for Working

Read @KateOsborneMP's article on defending the day one right not to be unfairly dismissed - which would provide much needed security to LGBT+, young, Black and Asian workers that are so often on the sharp end of the labour market š https://t.co/vv0tgRIpzJ

Cost of living pressures are continuing. Raising real incomes and living standards is the priority. I asked which sectors are next for a fair pay agreement ā and how the govt plans to extend them to lift wages. #FairPayAgreement

Reform say they stand up for the working class - but they never have. Theyāve voted to block the Employment Rights Bill again and again. Itās Labour on the side of workers: creating jobs, ending zero-hours contracts, and protecting workers from unfair dismissal from day one.

Unions are crystal clear - the New Deal was a Manifesto commitment, and must be delivered in full. That means passing the Bill intact, and ensuring it is implemented robustly - so the rights deliver on the promise made to voters. Whether it's day one rights, the right for
Bosses could still sack new hires under āday oneā workersā rights compromise

The New Deal for Working People is not done yet. A single status of worker would help to end the scourge of insecure work, that's why @AndyMcDonaldMP wants to see the New Deal implemented in full.

Labour's New Deal for Working People includes basic rights from day one for all workers, meaning you will no longer have to wait up to 2 years to for protection against unfair dismissal, parental leave and sick pay. That's why @KateOsborneMP wants to see the New Deal delivered in

More family friendly rights, like better parental leave and flexible working, will make it easier to balance raising a family with working to put food on the table - that's why @anneliese_midge is backing the New Deal for Working People in full š¶ā

Last night, I am proud to have voted for the biggest upgrade to rights at work in a generation. From guaranteed hours, more family friendly rights, and a ban on fire and rehire, the Employment Rights Bill is going to make work pay. So, whatās next for the Bill?š @labourunionsuk

Tory and Lib Dem Lords are trying to water down the Employment Rights Bill - their amendments are being debated in the Commons right now. @MWheelerMP sets out why we must stand firm, and protect the new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Bill. https://t.co/ihzyW9atfh
